Last week I gave a presentation to the Melbourne R User Group on Building R Packages. The talk covered a simple package example, and an example of interfacing R with native code. The slides are here: RPackages.pdf. The R community in Melbourne (and Aus...

To automate my trading I use a mix of scripts. Everything goes – R, Python, shell, C++, etc. For some time now I have been satisfied with the tools I have created. They run once a day, gather data from EODDATA, update the database, run some R magic to decide what needs to be done

When debugging R interactively, one hurdle to navigate is unwrapping SEXP objects to get at the inner data. Gdb has some useful macro functionality that allows you to wrap useful command sequences in reusable chunks. I recently put together the followi...
